QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 03:15 PM) Depending on what the other few pieces are the Nationals trade would be a haul. That's how you rebuild the farm system. The much more part of Rosenthal's tweet has my mind scrambling of who else would be in the deal.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 03:08 PM) Supposedly the offers for Quintana aren't near the offers for Sale. The moron Morosi actually said if the Sox traded Q or Eaton they wouldn't be blockbuster trades. If that is true, there is no reason to trade them. Lol at 5-6 win players not being blockbusters. People are idiots.

We could really use a Bucket tidbit right about now. Wish he would come and fill us in.

Is there a set time in which the Sox and Nats are sitting down for a meeting to discuss Sale?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 01:39 PM) I think it goes a little something like this: Hahn - "Mike, you can offer Giolito and Robles all day long, but I've got to have Turner." Rizzo - "If I'm giving up Turner, I can't give you Giolito OR Robles...and I'm not even sure I can get a sign off on Turner, to be honest." Hahn - "You know our suite #, Mike." Rizzo - "Rick, you've got to help me offset Turner if I'm going to move him..." Hahn - "What about Melky?" Rizzo - "Come on Rick. I need someone who will be here for at least a couple years. Give me Adam." Hahn - Eaton is not off the table, but then I'm going to need Turner and your top 3-4 guys, Mike." Yes.

Giolito, Robles, Fedde, Lopez, Severino, and Kieboom for Sale and Robertson

Seems like an ace to go after for a rebuild

QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 10:54 AM) I do think people are underestimating what the Nationals have to offer. However, the Nationals are crazy if they think they can get McCuthchen and Sale without trading Turner. Let alone without trading Turner AND Robles. SP Giolito CF Robles SP Erick Fedde C Pedro Severino + Seems a little light, but Robles and Giolito are a couple of top notch guys even if Giolito was terrible in his first few starts. Giolito, Robles, Fedde, Lopez, Severino and Kieboom for Sale and Robertson work? I mention Robertson because it looks like the Nats are gonna lose Melancon to the Giants and would be in need of a closer.

What is wrong with a possible change of scenery for Puig? Rebuild his value and trade him. Rather see Puig in the OF than Coats or Avi.

Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN 16m16 minutes ago Column: White Sox asking a high price for Sale, http://es.pn/2gth4vh but there is an internal push within CWS organization to move him.

I'll throw up if Nationals get Cutch and Sale without trading Sale.

Work on Sale first then move onto the others. This is the biggest week for the White Sox organization since 05. These moves could/should be franchise changing moves.

Per everyone. Takes them out of EE now.

Gotta give credit where it's due. Illinois with 2 very good wins against NC State and VCU. If they can finish the non-conference schedule out 10-3, I'd feel good about BT play.

QUOTE (ChiSox1917 @ Dec 3, 2016 -> 04:04 PM) Not sure I understand what Boston's strategy is right now. They're very confusing. EE would be a perfect replacement for Papi & they need starting pitching. But all rumors seem to be them not really doing anything this offseason. Bizarre. They'll get used to 1st round exits in the playoffs then.

We buy and trade for McCutchen

Doesn't mean a thing, but I think it's absolutely hilarious that Alex Bregman is currently in Chicago at the Bulls game right now lol.

QUOTE (Ro Da Don @ Dec 2, 2016 -> 06:46 PM) Even better. - Melky's 15 million and Sales 13 or so. We're going to have an Oakland-like payroll if we sell these guys. Signing placeholders for 3 or 4 mil (1 WAR is worth roughly 8 mil BTW) has no effect on any business moves. They're getting paid for what they've been. Less than 1 win players Especially if they get rid of Frazier and Robertson as well.

QUOTE (Ro Da Don @ Dec 2, 2016 -> 06:39 PM) To be fair, our payroll stood at 70 mil before these signings, I believe. It'll get a lot lower if we shed Melky's 15 mil etc. It was at 63 million.

I'd sign both of the non tenders from Arizona. Ruby De La Rosa and Welly.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Dec 2, 2016 -> 06:16 PM) This is worse than re-signing Avi. Does Rick Hahn actually think Lawrie's a good player? QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Dec 2, 2016 -> 06:20 PM) Lol, clueless comment. What's new honestly with him? Lawrie is good depth in case Frazier does get traded or he could even be packaged in a bigger deal. 3.5 million is extremely team friendly.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 2, 2016 -> 03:28 PM) If there is already talk about Robles being included in a deal for McCutchen, why wouldn't the price for Eaton be significantly higher? This. Less miles on Eaton as well compared to Cutch. Under team control longer and cheaper. Eaton definitely is worth Robles, Giolito/Fedde + one more piece.

Rumors that Ben Revere will be non-tendered. Would love to sign him as a bounce back candidate.

QUOTE (kwill @ Dec 1, 2016 -> 12:20 PM) What is weird is the Pirates interest in Robles. I thought the reason they want to move McCutchen is to make room for Austin Meadows. I would love to see the Pirates get into the bidding war as they have some fantastic young talent and could use an ace to anchor their rotation. Sale+Cole would be as good as any in the national league. They're moving Meadows to LF in AAA next season and putting Marte in CF.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 1, 2016 -> 11:01 AM) Thought this was good news to see PIT thinking they can get Robles for 30 year old McCutcheon on a downyear. I could see Robles and Fedde headlining a deal for Cutch
